Acorn South by Five - Linn Park

ACORN South By Five - Linn Park

ACORN South By Five - Linn Park is a single 5 km entry in the South By Five series, scheduled for 15 November 2026 at Linn Park. This listing covers one event only, not the full series.

The South By Five series visits six parks across a 12 week period, with a 5 km event held in each park. Completing five of the six races qualifies an entrant as a "Fiver". The six parks and dates in the series are Kings Park (1 November), Linn Park (15 November), Rouken Glen (29 November), Pollok Park (13 December), Bellahouston Park (3 January) and Queens Park (17 January). The final race is followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club near Queens Park.

Entry to races is free but places are limited; this event had a total of 65 places. There is a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund to support grassroots development, coach and first aider training, donations to local good causes and investment in trails and parks. Entrants are encouraged to bring donations to the local foodbank in lieu of an entry fee where possible. Transfers and a waiting list may be available.

Series entries are available, but if an entrant fails to attend two of the first three events the series entry will be withdrawn and offered to the waiting list with no refund. Additional sign-up options included series merch while available before August. An organised litter pick will take place for each park; details will be published nearer the events. The series supports Give A Dog A Bone, a local charity helping over 60s to afford a pet rescue companion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
